In theory, no, because could just sell his or her 50% interest on his or her signature alone, but it is unlikely you will find a buyer who wants to co-own with the estate of B. Most likely you will need to have B's interest retitled in order to sell a 100% interest in the property to an... View More

These wrongs have remedies but you need to hire an attorney without delay to pursue them. Yes, as far as the bank is concerned the stepchild can drain the account. But a court can stop that. You must act quickly.

Bills. I have three older brothers that will split her estate with me evenly upon her passing as requested in her will. Can she gift or donate her home to us now without penalties to her or us?
answered on Jan 4, 2018
Possibly. But, you really need to go over the specific circumstances with counsel well versed in estate planning and local to you. It is likely that no gift and estate tax consequence would arise given the current exemption of $11MM, but technically, a gift return could be required. Also, to the... View More

A directive/authorization for cremation can be made by a Testator to an individual, other than a family member, in a valid Louisiana Will.
